Farmers & Merchants Union Bank is participating in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under the program, through December 31, 2010, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. NOW accounts paying a higher rate of interest will not be eligible for the additional coverage under the program. Coverage under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. On May 20, 2009, FDIC deposit insurance temporarily increased from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013.
